Abstract

We discuss the role of interference effects in intramolecular electronic energy quenching of an excited electronic state of a large molecule. For a small electronic energy gap the Stern-Volmer relation is obtained in the limit of strong coupling, while in intermediate cases the (pressure dependent) quantum yield may exhibit a minimum. This prediction was experimentally verified for the radiative decay of the singlet excited state of biacetyl.
